Fauna in Dalhousie hills
The Himalayan foothills rolling up to Dalhousie and Dainkund abounded in different species
of animals and birds.
The diversity of flora, in different altitudes provided habitat for these species.
Encroachment made by man in a continuous way has narrowed down the perimeter of the forest
land.
The spread of human settlements have ruthlessly destroyed the balance of nature at many
places in these hills.
So the number of animals and birds have steadily decreased.
At many areas poaching goes on. Most of the forest department officials are interested in
their career and pay packet primarily. They are not interested in wildlife and nature
study.
Dalhousie could have had a natural history museum, but the administration is not sensitive
about it.
The only way to save the environment is to make people conscious about this matter. People
should love nature study and wildlife, to understand the need to care for nature.
An awareness has to be created amongst the people to preserve wildlife and this web site
is trying to do that work.
